Regarding the northern war front, I decided not to be involved as much as possible.There are Aides who think of me as an expert negotiator, but I am just an ordinary Werewolf, who once was a human.Can I bear to let them do as they please with me?
After politely declining Aide Bartzâs âI want to stop Aide ShureâŚâ request, I returned to Ryun Height with Teacherâs magic.âWhew⌠I donât want to make an appearance in Glenstadt for a while.ââYour diplomatic skills have become famous in the Demon army. Arenât you the rumoured Scheming Magician?ââPlease stop, itâs embarrassing.âBeing teased by Teacher, I returned to my office in order to make plans for the future.
Still, what I feel uneasy about is regarding the Mirarudia Alliance Army.The northern war front is yet to collapse, and since the Division Commander himself is participating, it can be said to be in the last stages.Currently, the first priority is to gather the remaining armed forces in Bahen, which will eventually be withdrawn âŚ.If that happens, then the Mirarudia Alliance will be able to turn their troops towards the south.
Among the seventeen cities of Mirarudia, three cities in the south were captured. The remaining fourteen cities became hostile.Although only one city is captured In the north, but since all the citizens had ran away and hid in the other cities, so it is not any different from having the population of fourteen cities turned into enemies.\n
With a rough estimation, if each city utilizes five hundred palace guards and a thousand citizen soldiers, I would be facing around twenty thousand forces.Since the citizen soldiers are not that skillful, I am in no way afraid, however I donât want to fight against these numbers.
Moreover, Mirarudia Alliance Army has a standing army for emergency purposes, which, in total, seems to be around ten to twenty thousand.The five thousand troops in the northern city Shuberm, were also the standing army of the north, and according to rumours, many of them are still in outstanding condition.Usually, they are living in various places as part-time farming units, but since these guys are full-fledged professional soldiers who received government salaries, I think they would still be formidable.They are perhaps training pretty hard during the farm-work, I certainly donât want to fight these guys.
Although there are other small-scale combat units, but these standing troops are the imminent enemies.Itâs not like the forty thousand troops would descend on us, but itâs not unusual for these ten thousand to attack at anytime.I canât remain at ease.
âYou are brooding with a troubled face.ââTeacher, were you still here!?ââBecause itâs comfortable here.âSitting on the chair, Teacher laughs with an innocent face. Her actions are childlike, however she looks a little tired.Perhaps the fatigue from Tuban capture battle is still remaining there.âWould you like some tea?ââThatâs alrightâ\nLeisurely boiling the water on a stove, I consult with Teacher about the future.âThe defending forces of Ryun Height are not sufficient.ââYeah. If I am in a bit more better condition, I can quickly mass produce skeleton soldiers, butâŚ.However, if I am to prepare ten thousand units, I need more than three months and have to ignore my official duties.âThatâs troublesome. Although Teacher looks like having free time, she is in fact busy supporting her disciples who are serving as Vice Division Commanders.
âBesides, I have to send Skeleton soldiers to Mereen and Fernel too. So we must defend against invasion from the north.âThatâs also right. Because these two cities are our shields on the north.âI give up on the Skeleton soldiers, but arenât there any better forces somewhere?ââThe races which are still revolting, my disciples are going around trying to convince them. Since every race has their circumstances, it can not be forced.â
In that case, the only possibility left is to call out those in my connections.I have already brought all the Werewolves, and I canât bring that many Ryujins.Then Inujins?âŚ. Hmm, but they are weak.No, wait.âYou got something, right?ââYes. I came up with a good idea, so I will give it a try.â
\nIt will probably be fine, but I still canât figure out where the switch stimulating the Inujinsâ motivation lieâŚ.
